Custom Made Demon King Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Summoned by Another Demon

Fat Tiger grew constantly as the days pa.s.sed and became more ferocious with each hunt.

However, Fat Tiger’s growing curiosity from the ‘curious’ attribute Roy set when designing him made Roy a little helpless. After being able to hunt alone, Fat Tiger stopped killing demons and monsters immediately, and he would tease them over and over.

He would first let the prey escape and then chase it from behind. He would knock down the opponent with a swoop and then let the prey go again. He would simply use his claws to hold the opponent down if he saw some strangely-shaped demons and then use the six eyes of his three heads to observe the prey. He would only kill the prey when he got bored of it.

And when Roy brought him on explorations, he would run around. Although he would run back quickly, he would come back with some strange things dangling in his mouths from time to time. Most of them were demon corpses in the wilderness, though there were also strangely-shaped stones, eggsh.e.l.ls left by certain monsters, and so on. He would offer the things he brought back to Roy, his master, and then look at Roy while waiting for praise with antic.i.p.ation.

Whenever this happened, Roy was caught between laughter and tears. The h.e.l.lhound was a dog after all…

The only saving grace was that Roy had yet to settle down and set up a home. Otherwise, Fat Tiger would have probably torn his house down like a husky.

During this time, Roy had been feeding Fat Tiger a part of the hunted souls to promote his growth. He stored the remaining ones to make Magic Energy Growth Potions. After he set the definitions, these potions considerably increased the efficiency of souls, and this method of increasing his magic energy was much better than simply devouring souls.

Roy’s magic energy increased to more than ninety in two months. He was about to break a hundred.

Fat Tiger had nearly matured, and the harvest he obtained from the Van Helsing world had almost been digested, so Roy could not help but want to satisfy his wanderl.u.s.t in other worlds.

After returning from the Van Helsing world, Roy understood one thing. The Gates of the Abyss probably connected to some parallel worlds. However, the main characters of these worlds were not true main characters because they could be killed far too easily.

Therefore, Roy speculated that these so-called main characters were actually just special characters born at a certain point in the evolution of these worlds. Even if they no longer existed, the worlds would still exist and continue to operate and evolve.

Only a Van Helsing world might not be able to show it, but Roy had a premonition that if he chose to be summoned again, he would likely be more or less familiar with that world!

Whether demons or angels, they were both creatures imagined by humans in the final a.n.a.lysis. Since they truly existed now, it meant that human fantasies became realities!

The originally fantasy world of Van Helsing became a real parallel world, so it would not be surprising if other worlds that humans fantasized about were to appear.

Roy did not know why this happened, but he felt that it was probably related to humans.

He linked it to how his system transformed and materialized the things he drew. It made Roy increasingly wonder whether or not all information might be materialized.

The human imagination was very rich. They generated a lot of information when their fantasies about the mysterious were recorded and materialized through images. This information gave birth to the existence of angels and demons. At the same time, it sp.a.w.ned numerous fantasy worlds. In turn, angels and demons continuously appeared in the human worlds, which also deepened the human cognition of the two, so the fantasy became clearer and clearer.

Humans, angels, and demons then formed a cyclical mutual interference. Souls became something that connected all three of them, thus seeming so important.

Roy had conceived these thoughts, but he did not know if he was right since he was actively trying to find a reasonable explanation for all this. Not only him, but humans had been looking for logical explanations to explain the unknown since ancient times.

Perhaps he could only find the answer after more contact with the Abyss, the human worlds, and even the Angel world…

After a few days, Roy found a new altar with Fat Tiger.

This was the fourth altar he found so far, and it was in between two adjacent mountain valleys.

“Fat Tiger, jump up!” Roy stepped onto the altar and waved at Fat Tiger to come over. Roy went up and sat near the edge of the magic formation while Fat Tiger followed and sat beside him.

Roy waited silently for the magic formation to open, for someone to summon a demon.

Roy had no clue whether or not he could bring Fat Tiger along. While Fat Tiger was a h.e.l.lhound, he was not of the demon race, so Race was not sure if the Gates of the Abyss would accept him or not.

Even if it could accept him, Roy did not know if the Ouroborus Mark would be effective on him or not.

Therefore, if Fat Tiger really could not be summoned over as well, Roy could only reject the contract and come back. Then he would wait for Fat Tiger to grow into a full-fledged adult before Roy could rest a.s.sured and travel to other worlds. He could also let Fat Tiger guard the altar and drive the nearby demons away in case he was injured when he returned.

It was just an experiment this time, so Roy did not need to consider anything about offerings.

However, he felt that it was important to be vigilant. The worlds that demons could travel to usually had the existence of their archenemies, the angels. They might not necessarily meet head-on, but he had to be careful. Moreover, he took advantage of Gabriel previously and took one of his soul fragments away. Therefore, Roy needed to take precautions in case he might encounter a stronger incarnation of Gabriel.

He knew that a weaker incarnation of Gabriel, like Van Helsing, was rather rare. Moreover, a soul fragment of an angel would immediately be retrieved by the light of Heaven after leaving its incarnation. If Gabriel sensed any problems with the soul fragment, he would immediately descend to protect it. Under such double protection, it was a miracle that he had managed to bring back the soul fragment.

The souls of angels had been successfully obtained by demons before. Otherwise, fallen angels would not exist. However, it was very rare for demons to obtain souls at the level of Gabriel. It was one in ten thousand.

He was lucky, but Roy was definitely blacklisted by Heaven. Once caught, he would certainly be hammered to death, so he had to be careful.

Roy did not wait too long before the magic formation on the altar lit up. Roy hugged Fat Tiger, placed him under his armpit, and stood in the magic formation.

The aura on the other end of the Gate of the Abyss was b.l.o.o.d.y and hot, and the b.l.o.o.d.y smell was strange as well. It seemed to be mixed with something, unlike the ordinary b.l.o.o.d.y smell.

Roy merely wanted to test it out this time, so he did not think too much of that strangeness and immediately responded to the summon.

What Roy did not notice was that the Fat Tiger in his embrace sniffed the smell he thought was strange in excitement…

…

The mist from the Gate of the Abyss enshrouded Roy. He realized with joy that the Fat Tiger in his arms was disappearing along with him.

It seemed like he really could bring Fat Tiger through the Gates of the Abyss with him!

Fat Tiger looked a little nervous. It was his first encounter with a Gate of the Abyss. He looked at his master, Roy, and himself turning into nothingness and could not help barking.

The light went from bright to dim and then again from dim to bright. After experiencing the same thing he went through previously, Roy found himself in a strange environment.

He was also in a magic formation, but the surrounding was fuming hot, misleading Roy into thinking that he was still in the Abyss. Fat Tiger was still in his embrace. At the same time, Roy could feel that the repulsive force of this world on him was not as strong as the previous world.

While Roy was feeling the differences in his surroundings, a voice rang beside his ear.

“Ohhhhh! Seems like a demon that isn’t a h.e.l.lhound has also been summoned! How strange. Does he also like blood mixed with the urine of a griffon?”

Roy turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was flabbergasted.

The owner of the voice turned out to be a demon!

This demon was a humanoid one with crimson skin. He had a leather whip in his hand, a black steel helmet covering his face, and a pair of long black demon horns protruding out of his helmet. He was big, and even though he did not have a pair of demon wings behind him, his entire body had the aura of burning sulfur. He was definitely a demon.

What baffled Roy the most was that he could feel a strong sense of suppression by the demon, making him really uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because Roy stared at him for quite some time, but the demon suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he whipped Roy and shouted at him, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get out of the magic formation!”
